Membership

Ballard NW Senior Center Members support the programs and services the Center offers to the Ballard, Magnolia, and Queen Anne neighborhoods in Seattle.

Do you, a friend, or family member visit the Ballard NW Senior Center for classes, groups, services, or events? Membership supports these programs.

Center Membership is not required to participate in our activities but there are benefits to being a Member both for us and our neighborhoods.

What are the benefits of Membership?

Members receive the Ballard NW Senior Center Newsletter both mailed and electronically, invitations to special events, discounts on most of the Ballard NW Senior Center’s classes, trips, and services, and free Birthday lunch.

When should you become a Member?

People can become Members at any time during the year, but the best benefit is to join or renew in autumn. New Members can get two extra months (November & December) by signing up for a 2017 Membership starting November 1, 2016. People who sign up before January 31st also receive three gift certificates.

How does Membership work?

Membership is $50 a year for 2017 and follows the calendar year.

2017 Membership is from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017.

Payment Options:
We have a few payment options. The first option to make one payment of $50 is available for purchase online as well as by mail and at the 2nd Floor Reception Desk. The second and third options to make installment payments are only available at the 2nd Floor Reception Desk.

One Payment of $50.00 - Available Online

Two Payments of $25.00 - Second Payment Due June 30th

Four Payments of $12.50 - Second Payment Due April 3rd, Third Due June 30th, Fourth Due Sept. 30th

How do you sign up to be a Member?

New and renewing members need to fill out the Membership Form, which is available online, by mail, and at the 2nd Floor Reception Desk. The Membership form is short and mainly includes contact information and emergency information.

Membership financially supports the running of the Center. While the center serves around 4,000 individuals, only 300 to 400 actually become members. If 500 people join and save themselves a lot of money over the year, the center still gets $25,000. If 1,500 joined, the center would receive $75,000. Think how much less fundraising we would have to do and how much more programs and services we could offer.
